moreIn a new study, researchers at the University of Würzburg are investigating the interaction of major global change drivers on insects.
moreWhen the cellular waste disposal system goes on strike, this can have fatal consequences. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now identified a key player in this clean-up crew.
moreAgriculture's impact on insect diversity is more severe than previously thought, according to a new study from the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg.
moreWhat measures are suitable for providing better living conditions for insects in typical Franconian landscapes? This question was investigated by a research team from the University of Würzburg. The results are now available.
moreHow does the body regulate the activity of insulin-producing cells in order to react quickly to changing conditions? Researchers at the University of Würzburg have investigated this question.
moreRice is the basis of life for many people. An international research team involving researchers from Würzburg wants to make the plant, which originates from Asia, more resilient to heat and drought.
moreIt's not always cosy and warm in the Amazon rainforest: cold waves can cause temperatures to drop drastically. Würzburg researchers have investigated how animals react to this.
moreNew research shows how cancer develops in children who are predisposed to Wilms' tumor. This could help to predict the development of tumors before they fully form or to develop new, targeted therapies.
moreA new look at cancer cells: Würzburg researchers show in the journal ‘Science’ how therapeutic antibodies work – thanks to an innovative method of super-resolution microscopy.
moreResearchers at the University of Würzburg have discovered a process that breaks down mRNA molecules in the human body particularly efficiently. This could be useful, for example, in the treatment of cancer.
moreMany animals orient themselves using their sense of magnetism. However, this can be based on different physical mechanisms. A research team from Oldenburg and Würzburg has now investigated the navigation of the desert ant.
moreCircadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team led by researchers from the University of Würzburg has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the fruit fly.
moreFrom species’ temperature preferences to the major ecological challenges for society - this range of topics will be covered by Christian Hof's inaugural lecture on 20 November 2024.
morePlants adapt their water consumption to environmental conditions by counting and calculating environmental stimuli with their guard cells. Plant researchers from Würzburg report this in ‘Current Biology’.
